Abbeyfeale is real deal

CLOSE to Abbeyfeale in Co Limerick, but with enough garden and privacy for a country feel and with rural and river views, is this Killarney Road quality four-bed home.

And, appropriately enough perhaps, given its market-niche Abbeyfeale address, the owners are leaving only for a lifestyle move down the road to Co Kerry.

Done up by its owners around 2006 with an assured ‘women’s touch’ in the decor and detailing, it is an upgraded 1,300 sq ft four-bed bungalow , with two en suites, plus the bonus of a 120 sq ft glass house, an elevated rear deck with River Feale views, and a 21’ by 12’ studio/workshop.

Selling agents is Norma Stack of DNG Stack, who says it represents real value at €249,000.

She says the extended and improved property is “deceptively large, detached and on a large landscaped site three minutes walk from the town centre.”

The house has unobstructed rear views, so the sun-lounging deck is well placed for Feale and field snapshots. Inside is a modest-enough sized sitting room, about 12’ by 10’ with slender corner fireplace, larger kitchen/dining room with cherry timber units, Siematic appliances, a tiled floor and French doors to the decking. There’s also a utility/pantry, and a 16’ by 10’ bedroom doubles as a home office.
